Mackenzie House
2024 Feb 05
This is a wonderful little museum dedicated to Toronto's first mayor and the Grandfather of Willian Lyon Mackenzie King. The house is in poor shape due to a flood, but the staff do a great job describing how the house used to look. The print shop is very interesting.
A lovely well maintained park downtown. The artwork is amazing and there are activities and areas for lots of different interests. Try the Labyrinth in the playground behind this section.
The Rec Room

We stopped her for drinks and a light lunch while walking downtown. The place has a casino style gaming area, a bar, a restaurant and a meeting hall all within the old railway roundhouse. It makes for a very interesting facility, but was quite noisy. The food was excellent. We had one of their pizzas and it was delicious.
Who knew there was a labyrinth right in the middle of downtown Toronto. While walking the area I noticed a sign directing you to the labyrinth and decided to go check it out. It is a large circle in Trinity Square with a path leading to the centre using paving stones of two tones. It was just an interesting way to spent a few quiet minutes tracing the route to the centre of the labyrinth. The square was also being used by a few homeless with tents set up but although I thought they probably question the logic of wandering a route through the Labyrinth, they just ignored us.
With some time to 'kill' in halifax, we decided to wander through this old cemetery. I have walked by many times but never went it. Viola Desmond is buried here and there is a sign marking the spot. I also saw Alexander Keith's grave. The graveyard is very interesting with many old markers that are in bad shape, but many more recent. It is a lovely spot to wander through.
